Daily Creativity: 2015 is the year of the sheep!

Rory2015YearoftheSheepsmRory is pretty happy to hear that tomorrow marks the begin of the year of the sheep. He thinks it means more mutton will be on the menu.

Welcome to beginning of Lent too as this is the first drawing I’ve done for it, and the soon coming Art Month. Art Month officially begins March 1. Stay tuned as I will be linking to other creations then as I’ve had some people commit to creating daily creativities of their own.

Drawn with my brush marker on paper.

Daily Creativity: My homage to the Traveling Totoro Family

TravelingTotoroFamilysm

I was inspired to draw my friends with their friends.  If you’re not following The Traveling Totoros on facebook then you are missing out on pictures that will brighten your day of little totoros doing random things.  They make me smile.  So I drew in little versions of their humans, @jdecorin & @scarredsoul in a scene from the movie with them.  I couldn’t put the whole family in there, but I got three of them, Cornelius, Amelia & Pip! This was drawn with ink on paper.

Daily Creativity: Rory in Kamae

RoryKamaesm

I’ve been taking Aikido lately and was inspired to draw Rory in Kamae, and of course, he’s a green belt. This picture is ink on 9×12 marker paper, I really like using this paper when I use color, it doesn’t absorb the ink like other paper does so it ends up looking more like I originally intended. I find myself wanting more colors in my markers, but at $3 a pop I’m buying them slowly.

Daily Creativity: Baby Clock Doc

Little Baby Clockwork Doctor, isn't he cute?

If you are watching my flicker feed you have already seen this adorable little guy.  I drew a baby version of The Clockwork Doctor and I think he’s adorable.  I just got some new supplies, some new micron pens that I am in love with, they don’t smudge at all when I’m erasing so that is just awesome, and an art card size watercolor block.  I’ve been looking for art card pads but just can’t seem to find them, but this seemed doable.  The paper may have more texture that I wanted for ink but it will hold up well I think.  I also recently picked up a Non-Photo Blue pencil which helps with ink sketches.  I was very tempted to add color to this, but thought better of it.
